/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

Ever wonder if she was a chocoholic because as half betazoid it acts as a mild narcotic? Like for full betazoids it's a controlled substance or something?

Memory Alpha:

Despite her character's love of chocolate, actress Marina Sirtis was concerned that filming these scenes would adversely affect her weight. As such, she asked the producers to use milk chocolate (which she disliked), and spit the ice cream into a bucket off camera after each bite.

Wish there was some pics or footage of this silliness.

I always wondered why her ice cream looked so terrible. Turns out she asked for it to be! Lol

I thought that was pretty standard for actors depicting a character eating. I remember how Aziz Ansari found it notable that Chris Pratt did not do so on Parks and Recreation:

He always also never uses a spit bucket. When you do scenes where a character is eating, you eat and then spit it out into a "spit bucket." Chris just keeps eating. If you see Andy eating a cheeseburger in a scene, you should know Chris Pratt ate like 8 cheeseburgers.

Paul Newman notoriously method acted eating boiled eggs in "Cool Hand Luke" to his detriment.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 20 hours ago

I had to look this up because you made me think he ate all 50 eggs

Apparently he only ate 8, but the rest of the crew ate the remaining 192 eggs which created a gassy day of work.

I had no idea, that doesn't sound like the worst day of shooting.
